Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter β, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. <small>Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? π― The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily.</small> <span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span> (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
<small>20px β Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here β!</small>
{{columns-start|num=3}}
20px β Featured script
: '''WikiTextExpander''' by '''Polygnotus β''', is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? β problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext β" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.
20px β Updated scripts
- CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)
- NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?
- My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.
- andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.
20px β Newly maintained scripts
- Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

20px β Improve a script
{{safesubst<noinclude />:WP:Scripts++/Improve}}
20px β Requested scripts
We need scripts that...
- allow sorting lists of citations {{tq|such as by URI or other identifier}}
- automatically convert the capitalization of citations' titles
- collect a list of discussion participants and generate a ping list
- automate starting merge discussions
- ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests β
20px β Miscellaneous
In breaking m:Tech/News β, {{tq|Gadgets can now include <code>.vue</code> files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js β, in particular using Codex β, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons β are now also available. The documentation β has examples.}}
{{columns-end}}
20px β New scripts
<!--The current convention is to use the Example/ScriptName β notation for scripts added by someone other than the script author and Example β: SciptName β for scripts the author adds themselves. Of course, you are always free to ignore all rules.-->
- Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap β, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.
- frameless|right|upright=0.5|linkinfo β Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops β, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo ''(pictured)'' provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.
- Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE β dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.
- Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.
- Daniel Quinlan/RangeHelper allows you to treat IP ranges as users and calculate the smallest range that contains specific addresses IP.
- Dbeef/C+ allows CheckUsers to generate a {{tl|sock list}} from the Special:CheckUser β page. Its checkboxes make this task hassle-free.
- DreamRimmer β has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex β UI lately!
- * /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.
- * /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.
- * frameless|right|EasySubpage β /EasySubpage ''(pictured)'' creates subpages... easily!
- * TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords, sternly.
- DVRTed/multiContribs provides an aggregate view of the contributions of multiple users and a link at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations β to automatically activate it with all users in a sockpuppet category.
- Edit7hesadparts/linkColorRandomizer turns your links rainbowy.
- Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.
- Polygnotus β
- * /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.
- * /DiscussionToolsDrafts gives you a centralized page to see automatically-saved DiscussionTools reply drafts, just like EditRecovery β.
- * PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.
- Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.
No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

Editing team feature idea meeting on Thursday 18th
Hi Danski454. The Editing Team is working on a new Edit Check feature that will ''proactively'' suggest edits people can consider making. The team is calling the feature "Suggestion Mode."
We'd like to invite you to a discussion (in English, for this meeting) on 18th December to show an early prototype and talk about how it might be improved, expanded, and/or reconsidered. For this conversation, we're specifically interested in learning from folks like you who have direct experience with integrating edit suggestions and signals directly into editing workflows via scripts, gadgets, browser-extensions, etc.
We're hosting a meeting on Zoom this week (18 December at 17:00β18:00 UTC β, the Zoom-link will be in mw:Editing team/Community Conversations β) to demonstrate how we can currently integrate some existing editing suggestions, ask for feedback and ideas about other types of editing suggestions, and talk about the feedback loops we create to ensure these suggestions have reasonable false-positive rates.
You can see a short-list of examples that we've already compiled at mw:VisualEditor/Suggestion Mode β, and if you have simple suggestions (or cannot attend the meeting) then we'd greatly appreciate your questions on the talkpage and idea additions to this longer listing of ideas β. If you have ideas that are most easily demonstrated via screen-sharing in a video call, or want to discuss the ideas that already exist in that list, then we'd welcome your thoughts in the meeting. If you're not already familiar with Zoom, please see Working and convening remotely/Zoom β for more information. You can optionally register your planned attendance at mw:Editing team/Community Conversations β so that we know roughly how many folks to expect.
Please know: this will ''not'' be the last time we'll be asking people for feedback about the feature nor will it be the last meeting we host about it! Thanks, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:07, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
:Quick addition: If you're not able to come to the meeting at that time, I'll highlight that you can also try the tool using this userscript β and there are four questions on the talkpage that we're most interested in your/tool-dev feedback on. Thanks again! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
Rollback
This edit β where you reintroduced a BLP-violating fake quote to an article is an unfortunate abuse of the rollback tool. Please be more careful in future. β filelakeshoe β (t β / c β) π± β 07:00, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
